Aspire Capital Group Chief Executive gave a keynote speech at the recent African Oil & Gas Investment Forum.
The African Oil & Gas Finance and Investment Forum, is an influential Nigerian event which focuses on deepening and broadening the economic partnership between the UK and Nigeria in oil, gas and energy sectors.
The CEO’s speech reflected the UK Government’s strategy to increase trade between the two countries through a network of accredited suppliers and contacts. He spoke about the opportunities available to UK companies considering investing in Nigeria such as:
- The rich conventional oil and gas resources of Nigeria
- The country’s huge potential for renewable energy
- The hugely under-developed power sector
- Natural gas distribution and utilisation across the country
- Partnering with its Local Content resources and its fast developing supply chain and capabilities.
More than 200 people attended the event held in London, including industry investors, academics and representatives of the Nigerian and British energy departments and representatives of UK companies operating in Nigeria and across Africa.
